This is another attempt to bring partisan politics to school board elections.

I state my opinion for this bill for the benefit of all NH voters.
Laura KostenblattOpposeJaffrey, NHfor MyselfFeb 17, 2026
Education and state primary should be separate.

There is no reason to make this change.

Temporally aligning state partisan elections with non-partisan local elections is only a good idea if you believe you will benefit. There is definitely an effect....you just don't know if positive or negative.

This bill could result in an administrative burden for local clerks, risks confusing voters, and may mess with traditional town meeting schedules.
Candace MorrisonOpposeHebron, NHfor MyselfFeb 17, 2026
This bill further undermines more people taking an interest in public education not allowing them to attend two meetings at the same time. A strong NO to this bill.

Please do not bring more politics into our education system. This will just further divide us instead of letting us rally around our community schools. There is no need for this to be a partisan issue in our already divided country.

Please stop trying to inflict more control over local towns. This state relies on local control to keep our individuality and independence, that’s what sets us apart. Making these partisan moves is counter to the NH way, enough with your overreach on local government!

Municipal and school district voting should be separate from the state primary.

Good morning, VOTE NO! HB 1069 on Feb. 17, 2026. HB 1069 is another attempt to bring *partisan politics* to school board elections. It would either require additional, separate ballots without 'party declaration' or be lumped in with ballots that clearly ask a voter for their party affiliation. One is a waste of money and time; the other co-joins local school elections -HISTORICALLY A NON-PARTISAN ENDEAVOR- with the machinations of NH primary elections. Not *everything* needs to be a partisan divide!! VOTE AGAINST HB 1069. Thank you, Lynn McRae, RN, BS Ed., MALS Dartmouth Lyme
